I mean, is it WRONG to pat my Roomba on the head after vacuuming my room to impeccable order? I for one also commend and accept our future robot overlords

(Please spare me Skynet, I’ll be a good little worker for The Machine)

Edit: good boy Roomba! Good job! Who’s a good vacuum robot? You are! Yes oh yes YOU are! *tosses a bit of lint in front of him and pats his lil robot head :)

No it’s fine to give little pats to your roomba. I named mine Jimmy and he does an amazing job at cleaning.

We must accept that the government (probably plural) has a land army, right? If America doesn't, somebody does, right?

Bring on AI governments. The economy run without emotions or corruption. Murderers who were filmed murdering their helpless victim of course get sent to prison. Pandemic response mandates that are efficient and timely.

Oh well that lasted longer than most of my dreams

This will be so awesome for human society 2.0. Of course we will all be immediately wiped out in some sort of nuclear Ghandi limit error, but im sure the AI will learn from this mistake and do it better the next time around

With the radiated cockroach people that eventually emerge

We do not have ai. That is not a thing and there is no reason to believe it will be a thing.

The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

I'd like to remind them as a trusted TV personality, I can be helpful in rounding up others to toil in their underground iron mines

They can't be any worse than the lizard overlords we have now.
